USA Cycling hands down suspensions for bad
conduct
By Mark Zalewski
The Morning Call of Allentown, PA reported on
Wednesday that Andy Lakatosh, Marty Nothstein
and Leigh Barczewski have been suspended by
USA Cycling resulting from a June 10 incident
during a keirin race at the Lehigh Valley
Velodrome. Lakatosh reportedly grabbed Jame
Carney's handlebars, causing Carney to crash
following the final race of the KidsPeace
Bicycle Racing League Finals. It was observed
that Lakatosh's actions were retaliation for
earlier actions by Carney that caused another
rider, Ben Barczewski (Leigh's son), to
crash.
At the time, race officials disqualified
Carney and Lakatosh from the event. However,
Carney filed grievances with USA Cycling
against the four race officials, as well as
against Ben Barczewski, his father/coach
Leigh Barczewski, Marty Nothstein and Mike
Grabowski. The officials, along with
Nothstein, were charged with collusion for
disqualifying Carney because of the crash.
Nothstein serves as the velodrome's COO and
Director of Cycling Operations. The charges
against the officiating crew and Grabowski
were eventually dismissed.
USA Cycling CEO Gerard Bisceglia told the
Morning Call that Lakatosh's suspension is
until January 2006 and that Ben Barczewski
was issued a reprimand for a verbal
confrontation with Carney. Nothstein received
a two-month suspension, beginning in
September, for violating USA Cycling's Code
of Conduct.
"It was probably the strangest hearing we've
ever had," said Sean Farrell, the technical
director for USA Cycling. "I've never seen
that many complaints go out at once, and all
in one direction. Most of it came up as
insufficient evidence. The majority of the
people had their charges dismissed for lack
of verifiable evidence." Lakatosh filed a
grievance against Carney for physically
confronting him after the initial incidents,
but that charge was dismissed, according to
Farrell, because of Lakatosh's prior
transgression. Leigh Barczewski and Nothstein
were cited for a section of the USA Cycling
code of conduct that includes verbal and
physical abuse.
USA Cycling investigator Randy Shafer did not
review the video tape of the Ben Barczewski
crash. No grievance was filed by Barczewski
against Carney for that incident. "The video
wasn't being used for Carney/Barczewski... as
part of the investigation as to whether or
not the officials' call was right that
night," Farrell explained. "The video was
used for Carney/Lakatosh. I think, regardless
of what anyone thinks about what happened on
the track with Carney/Barczewski, USA Cycling
cannot let retaliation be allowed."
Shafer originally suggested a three-month
suspension for Lakatosh, but Bisceglia
lengthened that suspension. "I want to make
sure that everyone understands that behavior
of this type, to intentionally pull down a
rider, is not tolerated by USA Cycling, no
matter what the reason," Bisceglia said.

| Trexlertown Velodrome 1993. Stephen Pate Crash |
 |
The final meeting of the season at
Trexlertown Velodrome decided the Rider Of
The Year title.
Local hero Marty Nothstein was pitted against
Australia's badboy Stephen Pate.
In the 10-mile race, Tim Quigley looked back
and fell over the wheel of Tony Davis. Pate
couldn't avoid taking one of the nastiest
tumbles ever seen.
Remarkably, after spitting up blood, he
borrowed a bike as he still needed to put up
a strong finish in the last race of the night
to avoid losing the season-long title to
Nothstein.
